Disease spreading on populations structured by groups

作者：

Highlights：

• A spreading disease model is set for a population in cellular automata.

• Individuals’ movements create groups where the disease is transmitted.

• The average group size is a good indicator for disease spreading strength.

• Based on evolutionary graph theory, the temperature of the lattice is proposed.

• Temperature is also a good indicator of the disease spreading strength.
